Wilderness Adventures for Homeschoolers: Fall Session
Homeschooling students ages 11 – 15 are invited to join us for a weekly wilderness adventure program based at Kroka's campus in Marlow, New Hampshire. The group will meet each Wednesday for a full day outdoors with activities in the wilderness and on the farm. Participants will develop skills for cooperative living in nature, competence in practical adventure sports, and appreciation for the natural history and ecology of New England.
Program days will alternate between day-long outings in the local area and skill-building days on the Kroka farm and campus. Each day follows the same rhythm:
8:30-9:00 AM: Drop-off and morning farm chores
9:30 AM: Morning meeting
10:00 AM: Departure for daily activity
12:00 PM: Lunch break
3:00 PM: Return to campus and clean-up
3:30 PM: Pickup and departure
On-campus activities will include firemaking, shelterbuilding, hiking, farming, traditional crafts and handwork, and service projects. Adventure activities include rock climbing, rappelling, canoeing, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, and map and compass navigation. Each semester culminates in a 3-day student-designed overnight expedition challenge to practice teamwork and skills learned.
